Chicago Sky at Seattle Storm odds, picks and predictions

The Chicago Sky (8-11) and Seattle Storm (13-7) meet Sunday at Climate Pledge Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sky vs. Storm odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

This is the 2nd of back-to-back games in Seattle as these teams faced off Friday with the Sky coming away with an 88-84 victory. F Angel Reese had her best scoring game of her young career with a career-high 27 points, while also pulling down 10 boards. She has a WNBA single-season record of double-doubles in 12 straight games. G Chennedy Carter also shook off her All-Star snub with a season-high 33 points.

All 5 of Seattle’s starters were in double figures, led by G Jordan Horston’s 20 points. Prior to the loss, the Storm had won 4 in a row, and all by double digits. G Jewell Loyd, who leads the team with 19.3 PPG, had just 13 and went 0-for-6 from distance in Friday’s defeat.

Sky at Storm picks and predictions

Prediction

Storm 81, Sky 77

I look for the Storm to bounce back, but no thanks on the -500 ML. I’ll take JEWELL LOYD UNDER 20.5 POINTS (-115) instead. In 2 games against Chicago, she has 13 and 19 points. It’s worth the roll of the dice.

The Sky have won 2 in a row in convincing fashion, and I think they are an ascending team. Carter and Reese are taking their games to another level. Look for them to keep this within 10. BET SKY +9.5 (-115).

This total is a little high for me as I look for some regression from Chicago on the road. The Storm are just 5-5 O/U in their last 10, and they scored 89+ in the 3 games before Friday. Look for them to make some adjustments and pull out a close one. Take the UNDER 164.5 (-125).

You may love betting on sports, but during the dog days of summer, the pickings can get slim. You can fill some of that time and scratch that itch at online casinos and enjoy slots, blackjack, video poker and more.
